Anchor to the week

Air temperature 32 F, wind near calm, scattered fog. Trash out. Thus do we number the days.

A new beginning

Ran the lawnmower with bagger attached and did a first pass of leaf removal under the oak. May be easier than raking, plus it chews up the leaves so that they might rot faster. The oak says we're not done with this battle. I will note that getting the mower started involved an extended period of yanking the starter cord, as it hadn't been run for two summers.
